How We Help

The Hairdressers’ Charity is 100% committed to helping hairdressers in their hour of need. The help provided comes in different forms, depending on the recipient’s needs, but beneficiaries are often helped in the following ways:

Regular quarterly payments to people who are struggling to get by due to unforeseen circumstances.

Emergency one-off grants to help with a short-term requirements.

Providing children under 16 with a clothing allowance for their school uniforms, Christmas and birthday presents and holiday money.

Training and equipment to help people learn new skills or update their skills.
